Hi ! [ I'm not on the list. If your mail should reach me, please cc me. ] * Gerfried Fuchs <alfie@ist.org> [2003-05-26 18:14]: [...snip...] > needed: > ======== > keyboard/monitor for sun (@ndy?) [...snip...] > Andy, are you able to support us with a keyboard/monitor for the sparc? Yes, sure. The keyboard is not a problem, but: Our Sparc stations at the institute (http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/address/ if you are interested) are very selectiv which monitor they accept. That means, one monitor which works on one Sparc station doesn't work on a second one and vice versa. I can't say if it's the fault of the computer or the monitor. And I can't take a bunch of monitors with me to get one running. So we have a few options: o You come to the institute and test which monitor works. If you are coming from far away, this might be impossible for you. o I take an adapter (13W3 <--> VGA) and/or a cable (13W3 <--> BNC) with me and you organize a VGA monitor by yourself. (Be warned: TFT monitors usually won't work with older Sparcs.) If there are a lot of monitors available, one should fit. o I have a 17" monitor which worked with almost any computer. Still no guarantee. o A Sun GDM-20E20 (20", 18.3 inch viewable) with a 13W3 connector. Should work with any Sun. o We have a few 20" / 21" monitors from Nokia, Philips, Sony. If you know one (or more) model/type which works with your SS it might be possible that this one is available. Which option is the best for you? FYI: This event is from 5th to 7th june but I won't be there on 7th. So someone I know (personally!) should take the hardware after the event.
